A man hurried into the Fifth
Avenue hotel the other day and,
rushing along the corridor, ap-
preached the desk, raped sharply
on it with his knuckles to attract
the clerks attention, and said:
"Let me use your telephone for
a minute, please. Pam in hurry
to get word down to my Office"
"No telephone in the house,
said the clerk calmly.
"What? You mean to say you've
cut yourself off from the whole tele-
phone system in New York;"
Precisely"
"Why, my dear sir, it is absurd,
outrageous the very height of in
convenience" sputtered the inquir-
er, half angrily. Then he rushed
away again.
"He's right" said the clerk,
" "about the inconvenient part Of it.
We found it an intolerable incon-
venience to have half the popula-
ton in Yew York coming in here
to use our telephone. Of course it
would be beneath the dignity Of
the house to charge anything for
such service, and it would require
an extra man to lock after the tele-
phone. Several houses have now
followed our example out of self
protection. The telephone has de-
veloped q new kind of q crank, and
he is tho most pestiferous and can
tankerous of them ALL"

HELPING THE ANARCHISTS.
Master Workman Powderiy Given a
Chance to Suspend an Assembly.

New YORK, Sept. 6.-District Assembly
40 of the Knights of Labor has voted to give
moral and financial support to the con-
demned Chicago Anarchists, notwithstand-
ing the positive stand which Grand Master
Workman Powderly took in prohibiting all
organizations of Rights to lend their assist
ance in any way to the condemned men.
Local Assembly 1894, otherwise known as
the Americas Labor Club, of which Thomas
B. Mcclure of the general executive board
Of the Knights of Labor and Victor Drury
are members, brought the matter up at the
last meeting of District 40 in the shape Of
resolution that the moral support of the
district should be extended to the condemned
Anarchists.
The Americas Labor Club was the first To-
cal assembly in the Knights of LObOr 10 vote
nnanelal assistance, amounting to S25, to the
Anarchists. When the resolution was pro-
posed IN the district assembly it created con-
siderable discussion in the assembly, but
when an amendment was offered that finan-
eial as well as moral support should be offer
ed, storm broke loose. 1t was claimed that
one OF the condemned men, Parsons. was
Knight. that he was in good standing and
steady worker in the interests of the order.
and that no matter what might be said to
the contrary, as to his convictions with the
Anarchists, he should be assisted in obtain
ing another trial.
1t Is now likely. according TO- Master
Workman Powderly's declarations in regard
to the condemned Anarchists, that district
40 may be suspended.
Well-known members of the knights say
that they know of no difference between
General Master Workman Powderly and
Thomas b. Mcclure, but it is limited that
the support Of the knights of Labor, organ
izatlons out West who sympathize with the
condemned Anarchists would prove desir-
able adjunct at the coming meeting Of the
general assembly of the Knights Of Labor
at Minneapolis

The famous pomolOgist, Charles NJ. Hovey

He was native Of Cambridge. and has done

man living In this part Of the country, be-
ginning his life work In 1882, and continuing
in 1t successfully to the last. In 1885 when
MIR. Hovey was "a years old he founded The
Horticultural Magazine, and for thirty-dye
years acted as its editor. In 1913 he began
the publication Of his Fruits Of America"
q richly illustrated and most valuable work.
For nfty-live years he has been a member Of
the Massachusetts Horticultural society, and
It was largely through his influence that the
present building Of the society was erected
on fremont street. Mr.. HOvey was an au-
thority on agriculture, Horticulture, and kin

groom was less than 30. saw the two at

stout, heavy faced German-looking woman
with kindly expression. She wore a small.

Her husband is fresh-faced oung-looking
man. The husband and wife were accom-
panied by very handsome-looking bru-
nette, with bluish-black hair. and the most
lovely fresh complexion. She was In white.
and gave but little attention to the husband
Of the baroness. He was very attentive to
his wife, paying her about the same devotion
that an attectiOnate son would pay to his
mother. The will Of the Duchess Of ST. Al
bans provides that all Of the great property
OF COutts, the banker, which was left BY
him to his wife, the duchess, should descend
to the Baroness Burdett- COutts, provided
she married and the husband attached the
name OF Burdett-C0utts to his. When she
dies, II he carries out the agreement already
made with her, he will marry as soon after

approved Of this marriage, and has not been

The sIoodthIrsry Rat.
Bangor Commercially


A Bangor man met with a queer expert
ence the other night. He Is hotel proprie-
tor and had been told by one Of his servants
that rat had gained admittance TO his room
during the afternoon and he had better kill
the intruder. The genial landlord laughed
at the fears Of the servant and thought
nothing more about it, That night he was
suddenly awakened by terrific bite upon
the ear and he heard the rat scampering over
the bed and upon the floor lie jumped out
of bed and lighted the gas and happeningto
glance in the mirror he saw the blood
streaming from the wound down over his
night clothes. He says that II his iugular
vein had been severed he does not think he
would have bled much faster, and he knows
that the pain would not have been nearly as
great. The wound was attended to, but the
next day the ear was swollen dreadfully and
for three nights its owner could not sleep on
account Of the pain. 1t must have been
badly poisoned. The wound Is now healing
slowly. The rat was never captured but the
next day 1t was found that he had gnawed a
hsle through the wall and escaped, leaving a
lot Of plastering to mark his. depreciation.
II that rat is ever caught by the man whom
he commenced devouring he will be con-
demned to death without a trial.

THE FISHERIES.
Canadians Who Want Free Fish,
free Trade and a Limit.

OTTAWA, Sept. Gin commenting upon
the fisheries commission, the Free Press, the
leading Liberal organ Of Ottawa, which re-
fleets the opinions of Hon. Edward Blake,
leader Of the Liberal party says:
1t is very evident that the fisheries question
cannot be settled independently of the question of
reciprocal trade between Canada and the United
states A mere definition OF what Is meant by
the three-mle limit, and the establishment OF
rules for the guidance of American fishermen
seeking shelter, wood and water in Canadian
ports will not improve the situation. Our Cana
dian fishermen want the privilege OF selling their
fish in the American market without payment OF
customs duties, and the merchants, traders and
farmers Of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Island want the right TO sell sup
plies to American fishermen frequenting the
coasts Of those provinces. Any arrangement
which does not secure TO our fishermen and
traders the privileges mentioned VIII not prove
satisfactory.
